applicable scene：Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, bathroom, glass cabinet

Applicable size：8-12mm.

Common types

Based on the installation method and shape, they are mainly classified into the following categories:

Glass claws

Shape: Like claws, common types include single claws, double claws (flat double, 90-degree, 180-degree), and four claws (X-type, K-type).

Application: Mainly used for curtain walls or large glass railings, fixed by screws passing through the holes on the glass.

Glass clips/Fixing clips

Shape: Usually two metal plates clasp the edge of the glass, locked by screws.

Application: Commonly used in shower rooms, glass doors, or railings that do not require drilling holes in the glass.

Floor clips/Bases

Shape: Bottom has a flange for fixing on the ground, and the upper part clamps the glass.

Application: Used for the bottom support of glass railings.

Wall seats/Wall clamps

Shape: Used to fix the glass to the wall.

Application: Side handrails of stairs, fixed to the wall of shower rooms.

Specification Parameters

When making a purchase or design, the following parameters need to be considered:

Applicable glass thickness: Commonly available thicknesses include 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 19mm, etc. The fixtures usually come with adjusting screws or different thickness pads to accommodate tolerances.

Glass hole spacing: For glass claws, it is necessary to confirm the opening distance on the glass (such as 100mm x 100mm).

Load capacity: Must comply with national or regional building safety standards (such as wind resistance, impact resistance).

Purchase and Installation Suggestions

Environment determines material: For indoor use, 304 is sufficient; for outdoor use, especially in coastal areas, 316 must be used.

Check gaskets: Ensure the rubber gaskets are of good quality and resistant to aging. Otherwise, after a few years, the gaskets will flake off, causing the glass to loosen.

Torque control: During installation, the screws must not be tightened too tightly to avoid crushing the glass; nor should they be too loose, causing slippage. It is usually recommended to use a torque wrench.

Tempered glass: The glass used in conjunction with fixtures must be tempered glass or laminated tempered glass to ensure safety.
